1977 Puch Maxi Sport Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 1977 Puch Maxi Sport scooter motorcycle, Puch utilizes a 48.8 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 1.5 HP (1.1 kW) at 4,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 2.1 Nm (1.5 lb-ft) at 3,000 rpm. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 38.0 x 43.0 mm (1.5 x 1.7 inches) with a 9.2:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Maxi Sport measures 39 kg (86 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 483 mm (19 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,120 mm (44.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
